Maisie Jane’s nut butter caters to all sorts of diets and food preferences, making it the perfect food for nearly everyone. When you browse our delicious collection of nut butter, you’ll notice some brown labels that tell of some bonus benefits that await our valued customers.
What do these labels mean and how do they benefit you?
This FDA-approved term makes it crystal-clear that the food in question is safe for people with celiac disease and other chronic auto-immune disorders related to gluten. To be more specific, “gluten-free” must meet one of these criteria.
Overall, if there’s a hint of gluten in the product, it can’t qualify for the “gluten-free” label. In fact, if the traces of gluten are above 20 parts per million, the food cannot have the gluten free label. This measure has benefited the millions of Americans who cannot consume gluten without triggering serious side effects.
It’s also a key label for any health-conscious individual following a gluten-free diet for their own weight loss or dietary goals. In the end, consumers have more power to confidently consume foods with this label because they know what they’re putting in their bodies.
“Vegan” ultimately means that there are no animal products used in or naturally occurring in the food product. Therefore, if you’re an animal lover, you can rest assured that Maisie Jane’s nut butter in no way contains animal products or animal-based ingredients of any kind.
The absence of animal by-products doesn’t mean that the product is organic, however. Only when you see the official “organic” label —which Maisie Jane’s nut butter is, by the way— can you be sure that there are no harsh chemicals or byproducts lingering in your food.
When you see the “dry-roasted” label on any nut product it means great things for your health. This phrase is not to be confused with “roasted nuts”, which are actually fried in vegetable oil and then given added salt. Because nuts are naturally full of fats, it’s unnecessary to add more to them in the cooking process. Also, since “roasted nuts” are fried in oil, this makes “roasted nuts” an incredibly misleading label.
Instead, Maisie Jane’s nut butter contains the trustworthy label “dry-roasted”, which means you get what you expect- nuts that are actually roasted without oil. In fact, the only way to get nuts that are truly roasted is to choose the “dry-roasted” label. You’ll know right away that our nuts aren’t fried because oil won’t be on the ingredient list.
In the dry roasting process, heat is applied to the nuts without any medium like oil while the nuts are stirred to make sure all of them are evenly cooked. Therefore, when you see “dry roasted” on the back of a jar of Maisie Jane’s Nut Butter, you can be confident that you’re eating nothing but wholesome, delicious nuts—not any added fats or salt.
We have always prided ourselves in offering top-quality flavorful almond products to our health-conscious customers who care about how companies treat animals. When you choose Maisie Jane’s nut butter, you’re not just selecting a delicious food that’s organic and free of harsh chemical additives. You’re also getting a gluten-free and vegan food that is roasted healthily without any added oils or salt. These three labels reflect our values to offer only wholesome and cruelty-free food to the world.
